When Eastman 910 first came out in the mid-70's, I recall that at Tinker AFB we had an epidemic of people getting glued to things, including themselves. Putting a drop on your finger and then touching your thumb to it to test its viscosity was popular mistake. One guy put a drop on his finger and then scratched his eyebrow. A couple of idiots decided it would be fun to spread layer of 910 on a toilet seat. The victims had to go to the infirmary and get released surgically. I am certain that Eastman 910 is a lot stronger than the stuff you can buy in the dollar store and some people even asserted that the industrial strength product was weakened following that initial wave of mishaps.
And my Hanebu was not alien!

Not long after 910 was given a tool number for us service reps, a woman called the office, just after Mardi Gras, to find out how to remove her false eyelashes. Kodak had other instant formulas, one was EK933 only available in gallons at $135 1970 dollars. I asked how did they get the cap off the can.

A standing search I've had on ePay for nearly 2.5 years has finally paid off! This one has been on my wish list for many years and I'd almost given up hope of finding one.
There are plenty of these CR.32's in 1/72 but finding one in 1/48 scale is like finding hen's teeth! I missed out on a SMER kit about 6 months ago but this Classic Airframes came up last week and I pounced on it. It's probably going to be as difficult to build as the P-12E I have on the go at the moment, but I do like a challenge. The kit parts are still sealed up but the decals are unusable (probably why it was cheap). No big deal as I had sourced some after-market decals for this aircraft years ago. No idea when I'll get to it (now have over 80 kits on the "to build" list) but at least it's now in the stash.

Very nice Grant. When I was stalking up on kits for retirement I would look for weeks for a kit. My goal was always under 45$ including shipping for single engine and under 55$ for twins. I managed to get around 100 in a little over two years

Awesome Grant! Well done mate.
I've been doing the same the last 11 years (since coming to Ireland) - hunting down all the RNZAF types in 1:72.
I have been extremely lucky so far (thank God) to find almost all (5 types were never kitted), but two that were, but are as rare as hen's teeth, remain elusive:
AESL Airtourer T6/24 (Kiwi Resins kit)
Airspeed Consul (VAMI Models)
If anyone ever sees these kits, please let me know!

I am thankful Greg found mine in a shop in Minnesota. The ones I remember when I was eight are the two Hasegawa ones, the H6K and H8K 1/72 kits, only issued multiple times.
